Can the MTBE plant be upgraded in the future? According to the market, in which directions can it upgrade? Discussion is welcome
It can be modified, and the modifications don’t need to be extensive; they can be made based on the existing setup
Have you made any modifications? How to change it?
It hasn’t been changed yet; a company came over some time ago for technical discussions. Because **there has not yet been a notice to stop using MTBE**
Deep lamination process or etherification + lamination process
There are types for refining and chemical applications; those designed for refining are easier to modify, and processes such as blending or alkylation can basically be used to convert them into MTBE. Chemical-type MTBE is generally used to retain useful components in the raw materials, such as n-butylene; modification methods like copolymerization are not suitable for this type of process. Although **no ban on the use of MTBE has been issued yet, there is a timeline for gradually reducing its proportion in gasoline. This poses a challenge for chemical-based MTBE production facilities, but solutions always exist; every technological advancement emerges under such conditions.
MTBE plants can be modified, but the options are still limited; existing methods include superposition, cracking, esterification, etc
Chemical-based MTBE can be considered for cracking to produce high-purity isobutylene, which can then be further processed into polyisobutylene or other products such as dimethyl methyl ether.
